ANKARA (AA) – One Turkish soldier was martyred and three others injured Thursday when their observation post in Syria’s Idlib province came under shelling and mortar fire.
In a statement, the Turkish Defense Ministry said Syrian regime forces carried out the attack on the post in the province’s de-escalation zone.
The wounded were evacuated and have begun receiving medical treatment, the ministry said.
Russia's Ankara attache was summoned to military headquarters and was told that the attacks will be "punished in the strongest way," the ministry noted.
